Phillips County residents Monday filed into UAMS East to take advantage of free medical services being provided by the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force reserves. So many turned up for the opening day of the military's 11-day stint in Helena-West Helena, that vouchers were given to the overflow so they could return and be first in line the following day. The military last provided medical services to the county in 201. More than 1,100 were served during that visit.
